Stitch Away Stress!
CALLING ALL LOCAL CROCHET & KNITTERS!!
Want to be part of making history and have lots of fun doing it? Join us by supporting the Craft Yarn Council’s Big Apple Lemon Drive to draw awareness about the stress-busting benefits of knitting and crochet!
In preparation for National Stress Awareness Month in April,
Why the need for lemons in NYC you ask?
Inspired by the success of its Stitch Away Stress campaign in April, the Council wants to have some more fun with the stress-reducing benefits of knitting and crochet… this time on one the most stressful days of the year, April 18, 2016, otherwise known as Tax Day!
April also happens to be National Stress Awareness Month (you get the connection).
With your help, the Council plans to hand out thousands of knitted and crocheted lemon stress balls with a message about the stress-reducing benefits of these crafts to taxpayers on the busy streets of New York City. upSewn Studio plans to partner with local Holland/Zeeland tax agencies in the same way. Hopefully, they will be inspired to take up knitting or crochet and experience the health benefits themselves!
